A new DJ mix from onbe of my favourite producers, BL/\CK CEILING.

It's a rare, bootleg edition of the Bladerunner OST with all of the incidcental music included, plus some key speeches from the film, obscure takes of the main themes... all mastered from tape. Oh my deity, it is fantastic. I have a link to a .flac copy online, but pretty sure it's not cool to post filesharing links on the forum... get at me via email, I'll forward the link - it took me a fair bit of digging to get it.

Music from Saharan cellphones is a compilation of music collected from memory cards of cellular phones in the Saharan desert.

In much of West Africa, cellphones are are used as all purpose multimedia devices. In lieu of personal computers and high speed internet, the knockoff cellphones house portable music collections, playback songs on tinny built in speakers, and swap files in a very literal peer to peer Bluetooth wireless transfer.

The songs chosen for the compilation were some of the highlights -- music that is immensely popular on the unofficial mp3/cellphone network from Abidjan to Bamako to Algiers, but have limited or no commercial release. They're also songs that tend towards this new world of self production -- Fruity Loops, home studios, synthesizers, and Autotune.

In 2010, various versions of saharan cellphone music were released on cassette. Many of the songs were unlabeled, giving no insight to their mysterious origins. In the past year, the artists have been tracked down to collaborate on a commercial release. As such, 60% of the proceeds go directly to the artists.

Very excited for this project. Crescent Moon being one of my favorite rappers, and these French guys producing this really seem to strike a chord with me musically. And, awesome video to go with it to boot. The project is called "Numbers Not Names", and is coming out supposedly sometime this month. At least in France it is.

I loved their first album then lost touch with what they were up to so haven't even heard their albums in between but this album - to me and oh so very subjectively - feels compositionally layered to a very mature degree. Like the difference between the simple person you were at 20 by comparison to the layers, difficulty, and wonder you have 6 years later. [I said subjectively...]

I've just checked and it's been 5 years since their first album so it chimes. I'd recommend taking 2-hour-long walks and letting the album sitting somewhere in the middle. ]]>

Here's track two and three (second track was split into two on the Youtubes), in order:

Also, the band "Katzenjammer". Four chicks who play lots of instruments.

Also, Susanne Sundfør is out with a new album, and it promises to be neato. I LOVED her previous one, "The Brothel".

Now I want to make mixtapes with it, but I have to wait til after May 8th... (Awesome, I got the release date wrong... it's out! Mixtape ACTIVATE!)

People are always asking how we make our music, how we use samples – we would talk about music concrète, stuff like that, and that's absolutely true – we often make music out of material that other people wouldn't think to use. Like for instance we might take a sample from YouTube and then build a whole song around it with these more hi-fi instruments, and then erase the sample from YouTube so it's not even in the track. There's a lot of recycling and destruction that happens in the making of our music.

...

Bloody hell, his album Channel orange is incredible, in fact its so awesome , his whole coming outmay overshadow how good it is. The production on it is incredible, anyone with a good sound systemor brilliant headphones will understand. But the lyrics , oh my gosh....

Frank Ocean -"Thinking About You"

Frank Ocean - "Hardest Thing"

Frank Ocean, The Weekend, Sampha,Subtrakt and Syd the Kydhave created a very different genre of RnB, I don't know what name we'llsettle for in the future. But I like it.

SUCCESS!(If you're not willing to listen to the whole thing, do yourself the favour of at least listening to a few seconds starting at the 2:30 mark.) ]]>

This week it's Jarboe, Jarboe, and more Jarboe. Sometimes Swans.

That's off the first EP, and is arguably his best individual song.... there are a few tracks up on Tri-Angle's soundcloud from 'Held' but to experience the full heart-melting awesomeness, you'll have to buy a copy now. It's the most emotionally affecting album I've heard all year. It has barely any lyrics. Saw the live show last week, first time I've ever seen electronic music move people to tears. ]]>

Penpushers, whose avant-garde, densely literate, mythical take on hip-hop really changed everything for us. The band split up a while back, but we've just released a free album by two former members, under the name Immaculate Emotion Engines. It's been on constant repeat at my house for six weeks, hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did.

Although I have the sneaking suspicion that this mix is just a regurgitation of everything I've downloaded in the past three months based on recommendations from this thread .... Still. I need some chillz today, and this is doin' it. ]]>

The cover is a picture of a cock with the title on it in biro. Don't know what's going on there.

Edited to add:

Sacramento rap-punk outfit Death Grips originally reported that their second LP of 2012, NO LOVE DEEP WEB, would hit shelves “sometime this fall”. After announcing via Twitter yesterday that the “label (Epic Records) wouldn’t confirm a release date ’till next year sometime’”, the outfit responded in true anarchical fashion by making the album available on their own terms. “The label will be hearing the album for the first time with you”, they added.

Me and wifeyface are listening the SHIT out of Flap! lately. Just my kind of thing. Bouncy, jazzy, funny, sweet. They were at the Edinburgh Fringe, and my parents really wanted me to see them as they'd seen them do a short set on an outside stage. I immediately bought two albums. ]]>

Wanted to say thanks to so many of the people on this board who've supported the label creatively, socially, and sometimes even financially. You guys rule.

I am jealous much. I've loved these guys for a couple of years. Rarely has despair sounded so luscious.

"And people want to grow old in the cradle, when there's snakes all around in the reedsAnd you ask me to fear of no evil, when your fire's all over my feet"

"best of" list for 2013. I think you may have a lot of these!

And Dave Brock, although I admire his devotion to keeping Spaceship Hawkwind ticking over for 40+ years, he's one grudgy fucker. So unfortunately, I don't see the Turner / Brock rift healing anytime soon. And I know, theoretically there are other people who are familiar with Moorcock's Deep Fix, but until today, I'd never actually encountered any of them online. So props for that, thanks for the track, and this is for you, wherever you are. PS, I also, am not a Hippy.
